"...... What are you kidding?!"

Kiyohara Yukiha blinked her eyes a few times quickly. The gloom that had enveloped her for a moment called a heavy sentimentality and memory vanished.

She smiled and raised an eyebrow at Kanno.

"Ah, I'm kidding. She replied casually.

However, since Kannadine had worked as an elite member for a period of time in the present world, he certainly wouldn't be so dull that he couldn't notice what kind of memories his opponent had fallen into.

She smiled subtly.

It's a pity, that one of the world's five swords is not here for the time being. Otherwise, how about making good use of it?

She thought so, and casually provoked a slap.

"Eh~ With such a melancholy expression, is it ...... Do you remember someone~"

As she expected, even after being questioned so bluntly, her opponent's strong inner defense still did not collapse.

"I just remembered things from my student days. Kiyohara Yukiha replied calmly, with a wonderful smile on his face.

Kanna Rinne glanced at the mustache that was standing next to him, who seemed to have regained a little strength at the moment, and was determined to muddy the water even more.

“...... Actually, I remembered someone worth remembering, right?" she asked with a smile, looking like "You don't need to say much, I understand, isn't this a beautiful memory of youth that everyone will have".

"It's someone who is very important to you today, a living person who once held an important place in your life...... It's not some so-called god who can only be manifested by means of something like spiritual power, and is still essentially a sword made of cold gold and iron—" She said with a very considerate and empathetic look on her face, and dragged her long tail note with a hint of malice.

“...... Be sober. That kind of person is the real person who can grow together with you in this world. What can you gain by clinging to the avatar of some god incarnated from the cold steel?"

Kamino Rin was talking in a beautiful voice, which sounded like a kind of persuasion to put himself in the other person's shoes, and Kiyohara Yukiha seemed to be listening quietly with unusual patience. After a while, when Kanna's voice stopped, she suddenly sighed.

"That's the kind of thing you ...... What if someone had told Ms. Hibiki about it?"

Kanna Rinyin: !!

Anger welled up on her cheeks in an instant, and the color of hypocritical care was washed away.

These words...... Do you think no one had told her in the first place!!" she hissed, "but ......!"

Kiyohara Yukiha looked like she was really surprised this time.

"Is that so? is it really ......" She seemed to be a little unsure of what to say for a moment, and paused before continuing, "But, why ......?"

"Why didn't she listen, did she?" Karinno sneered, "Of course—Granny Hibiki, she's a simple person. She feels that being treated gently and not rejecting her in anything is love...... Throw yourself into it with a hot head, but you get nothing...... After all, if you don't really like her, then reject her! Say to her, 'I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of affection for you,' is it hard to do this kind of thing?!Will she throw him away after that?!Hmph, after all, it's just a deliberate toy—— Maybe it's because I think it's not bad for such a gentle and beautiful girl to throw herself into her arms, it's not important whether you're emotional or not, anyway, after you get a human body, you haven't tried the benefits of this real body, so why not push it half-"

“...... Not really. ”

A gentle, beautiful, magnetic voice suddenly cut in, interrupting the inference that Kan Wurin's words became more and more outrageous.

All three people present turned to the source of the voice.

At the edge of the woods, the mourning gods who had come out of it at some point were standing. At this moment, their expressions are different, the only thing they have in common is that they all look a little embarrassed, their faces are covered with dust, there are scratches and damages on their uniforms, and there are vertical and horizontal blood marks on the skin that comes out of some broken places.

The one who spoke up was the center of what they were talking about.

The most beautiful of the five swords in the world, the blue hunting suit he was wearing also had scratches, and several parts of the fabric were torn, and it was clear at a glance that he had experienced a fierce battle in the woods. Although his short blue hair was tied with a headband with a golden tassel, it was still slightly messy, and unlike the others, the main knife in his hand was even stained with a few bright red blood beads - it was not the black blood of the time-traced army, but the blood of humans!

Seeing him in this way, the two women present seemed to be a little surprised.

But perhaps they were even more surprised to hear his denial.

The Three Days Moon Sect walked over slowly, ignoring the surprise, ignorance, embarrassment, or subtle expressions on the faces of the other Fu Mourning Gods standing behind him, and walked straight to his current God Inquisitor, calmly facing his former lover, the junior, and said calmly:

"At no time do I mean to be 'deliberately playing' to Miss Hibiki. ”

As far as he could see, he could see that Kannaku was staring at him stunned, as if she didn't expect him to appear in time to argue, and then, after hearing his words, she rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously, as if her expression fully explained the meaning of "I don't believe your hypocritical nonsense at all".

However, in this position, he could not see the expression on the face of his current God Inquisitor beside him.

After the battle in the woods, he walked with the other mourners to the path leading to the woods, intending to go out to meet the Witch. However, as soon as they reached the edge of the woods, they heard this awkward conversation.

He originally thought that Kanna's accusations were all unreasonable conjectures, and Kiyohara Yukiha, as the person he had been watching all along, would not believe Kanna's words, and he shouldn't need to come forward to explain, but for some reason, when he stood quietly in the shadows at the edge of the woods, listening to Kanna's voice become more and more terrifying, he suddenly had a strange and new worry.

It's not that he suddenly doesn't trust the judgment he has made about the person Kiyohara Yukiha for so long, and believes that she won't be easily deceived by these nonsense, but-

He suddenly wondered what if Kannaku would have said something even more terrible, what if those words had touched Kiyohara Yukiha at a moment he didn't expect?

Although he didn't feel the need to seriously respond to the fanciful imagination of mortals, he finally chose to step out and stand by her side, facing the provocations and doubts of others—after all, why.

He doesn't put his inner doubts on his face. In comparison, the little girl on the other side understands much better.

Although it is said that Kannaku Rinne claims to be a few years older than Kiyohara Yukiba, in the eyes of Heian Mingdao, who has been in the world for thousands of years, both of them are just little girls. However, he inexplicably felt that the little girl on his side was more mature and powerful than the little girl on the other side-

Because in the face of the grave accusations against him, the little girl beside him was able to stand calmly in place, as if she had not wavered in the slightest, but when the little girl opposite heard him, she immediately lost her cool and roared at him angrily: "Don't lie with that kind of hypocritical tenderness to deceive the admiration of ignorant women!

He couldn't help but look a little confused.

"I thought that agreeing to her words would make her happy......" he said slowly in a rational tone and attitude, "she is my inquisitor, and has the right to give orders to me, and I don't think that keeping me with her is an order that is so ridiculous and unreasonable that it cannot be carried out and must be refused......"

He paused.

"And I never asked her to do anything excessive or offensive. He continued calmly.

Kamino blurted out, "You're lying!If that's the case, why do you still have that relationship!!"

The Three Days Moon Sect looked a little surprised. He thought for a moment before saying, "Ah, you mean—"

"That's right! That's what I'm talking about! Physical—" Kanna's voice blurted out as if he had lost his mind from the shock of anger.

However, she didn't finish the fatal word "relationship" completely, and was interrupted by Kiyohara Yukiha's slightly raised voice.

"I said- I brought a short knife with me today, so I don't have to discuss this here, do I?" she sighed loudly, cutting off Kanna's voice in time.

Kannaku closed her mouth for a moment, glanced at the Fu Fu Gods who were standing loosely in a fan-shaped formation behind her, and then snorted.

"Why? Haven't you started discussing this kind of issue in your Honmaru?" she asked rhetorically with a sneer, glancing contemptuously at Kiyohara Yukiha.

"Anyway, sooner or later, it's going to be discussed, why don't you talk about it now?" She stretched out a finger and tapped at the Fu Fushen with different expressions behind Kiyohara Yukiba, and pronounced their names exaggeratedly in a cowardly tone.

"Izumi Shouji, a period of one vibration, a smiling face Qingjiang, or—the one standing next to you right now, you have to be careful, since he can deceive Granny Hibiki's feelings, of course he can ......."

"That's enough!" Kiyohara Yukiha finally lowered his voice and shouted categorically.

Kanna Rinne noticed that the five fingers of her right hand, which was holding the sword, tightened as she stopped drinking herself.

This knee-jerk may have meant that she was really angry—but Kanna Rinne had no intention of running away in the first place.

The time-tracing march failed, and so did the prosecution of non-compliance...... She couldn't think of any other force that she could rely on and borrow from her to attack the tricky opponent in front of her.

Shen Wu Rinyin quietly waited for Kiyohara Yukiha to attack in front of him as the ultimate winner, but unexpectedly, after Kiyohara Yukiha yelled at her, he didn't show off in front of her how much he was loved and trusted by his own Fu Fu God, nor did he show off how great it was for him to defeat the two powerful enemies of the Time Tracing Army and the Judgment of Non-Compliance, but just sighed softly.

"Will it make you feel better to prove that Mikazuki is a worthless and unworthy person?" she asked, quietly staring directly at Kanna.

"So, what is Ms. Hibiki's persistence for so many years. ”
